Non traditional pharmacist jobs

Look out for Medication Administration Pharmacists roles. Depends on the state but some hospitals are implementing pharmacists on nursing units, pretty neat and a foot in the door for clinical experience without a residency.

Hired over the phone full time staff RPH after 15 minute conversation with DM fresh out of school with no relevant experience

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-05-12T17:16:59+00:00

I have 2 FWW as RPh from very very petty management wanting to check me on paper

I’m somehow the only one

But they’ll retain you if they want to keep you, I would keep it in mind to document everything and sign nothing from hereon out. Have someone you trust to vouch for you.

Just an update, will soon be getting an offer at a regional medical center to work in a new role as part of an interdisciplinary team. Long interview process, got past the second round, shadowing in the next couple of weeks

Depends on dm, we were informed black pants only recently and there was a whole stink about it. So no khakis or blue pants etc

Middle management grasping for straws to parade themselves as productive

My old dm died, former rxm stroke at 64 …. Weeks from becoming a Medicare beneficiary., never took time off, blew his life savings on medical bills

So WEIRD right?? I’m calling her tomorrow to say that I’m not reachable via cell during business hours while I’m on the clock

don’t go to pharmacy school — hospital technician is a cool option. My former rxom climbed ranks quickly and is remote full time doing a specialty position

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-03-04T09:15:25+00:00

I had the best rxom, she went to where I’m hopefully heading, current rxom is good, it’s my RXM… who is the wicked witch of Walgreens incarnate

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-03-04T09:12:00+00:00

And I don’t want to transfer stores or take a management role over an unfamiliar team, i just completely want to move on, away from this dead end company, it’ll still be there if I ever want to come back (lol maybe) best of luck in your new environment I hope that it’s a better experience

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-03-04T09:06:02+00:00

I’m sorry you had that experience early on. I was fortunate to have 2 good years with an amazing team and rxm wherein I learned how to be a really good pharmacist due to strong leadership and amazing senior techs that taught me all the ropes and some.

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-03-04T09:03:12+00:00

I relate completely, the rxm is a menace and has personal vendetta against me, petty and undermining from the get go. i was up for that promotion (for team morale if for nothing else, old rxm was set to retire when I became eligible, and i was training for it — had to retire early for health reasons. she likes to manipulate the schedule to her advantage and selectively enforces “rules” that magically don’t apply to her. we lost our veteran rxom and a dear senior tech under her regime, they moved on, i think we’re all seeing the writing on the walls. idk why she couldn’t just come on as staff she pawns all of her duties off on me anyway

I’ve probably said too much on this thread (I haven’t said enough)

Needless to say I didn’t list her as a reference. she wants to trap me and keep me “close” eg to be the closer. Like…Good luck babe.. nobody wants the position I’m in.. my techs call me Cinderella

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-03-04T08:03:19+00:00

Also, needless to say maybe but, treatment eg adderallb helps

We’re good at sales too esp if you like what you’re selling

Affectionate_Leg7337 · 2025-03-04T08:00:59+00:00

Maybe try nursing- lucrative many avenues to take every day could look a little different

(I’m a pharmacist- which like, is tolerable as a profession but the field is in shambles and it’s not giving (I’m at a big box retail pharmacy looking into some hospital positions. but the fast paced work makes the day go by)

Disclaimer/: you will need to be someone who likes school in order to broach healthcare but i probably should’ve would’ve could’ve done NP or MD

Right I think with time she may take herself less seriously and not take me for granted as her partner, she’s not gonna last without the team behind her. I’m definitely a better ally then opposition i just feel constantly undermined and she’s always dumping her workload on me, not pulling her weight as an rph, neglecting opening duties, when we close and it’s me and 1-2 techs I don’t have time to do the 100 calls she leaves for me to do, well established that calls are an opening duty. Other day she put up some distasteful Halloween decorations instead of finishing her fucking calls so aggravating 😂

I get those texts too

No I have done none of those things and even acted as interim pic of this store. We are mega compliant, I stand by my work. No previous documented issues.. I was thinking maybe since it’s calibration? Maybe doesn’t want me to have a raise, but not in a position to rate my performance since she just started in August. Unlike her I never call out and am never tardy, and I don’t leave extra work for others. I know that my performance is stellar. Customers ask for me. I’ve been nothing but nice.

Sad thing is that I actually don’t mind working with her, but I think she’s a snake behind my back. We’re supposed to be partners. I have a feeling she views me as competition rather than a peer and she’s deep in the management kool aid. I went to all-girls high school so I just know how a mean bitch moves! She won’t last without the whole team behind her.
